Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Rebecca
Freelance French-English translator and native English copywriter, specializing in audiovisual, publishing, and the cultural sector.
Before becoming a translator, I spent nearly twenty years in international film and documentary acquisition and distribution—notably as Executive Producer of the documentary The Cancer Conflict (2021, Netflix UK)—giving me a deep understanding of the language of rights, pitching, production, and international sales.
A member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (MCIL) and the Institute of Translators and Interpreters (MITI), I also offer certified translations of official documents into English, such as Kbis extracts.
